We are pleased to announce the grand reopening of the "VIP Lounge" and "VIP Seating" located on the main stand side of Mercari Stadium, starting from the Meiji Yasuda J1 League Round 2 match against Nagoya Grampus on Saturday, August 15, 2026/27.
This renovation, timed with the opening home match of the 2026/27 season, was carried out under the theme of "enhancing hospitality" to allow you to enjoy your time at the stadium even more deeply. We have prepared an enriched environment to make every moment, from your arrival to the lingering afterglow of the fierce competition, of the highest quality and comfort, and we look forward to welcoming you from the opening home match.
Evolution of two lounge spaces that maximize the value of your stay
We have added new value to each lounge to ensure a more comfortable experience from before kickoff until after the match.
■Lobby Lounge: Pursuing comfort and convenience
With the installation of two 75-inch large monitors, projectors, and a sophisticated bar counter, the space has evolved into a calm and high-quality environment. Additionally, a permanent VIP-exclusive merchandise sales area has been established, providing an environment where popular products can be purchased smoothly. Furthermore, we will begin a new after-service offering beverages for one hour after the match, keeping the lounge open. This allows you to avoid the crowds around the stadium and enjoy the afterglow of the match in a relaxed state.
■M3 Lounge: Where excitement and relaxation intersect
To encourage free interaction among users and heighten a sense of unity before the match, the layout has been redesigned to be standing-room-based. A dedicated cloakroom has been newly installed so that you can move around freely without worrying about your belongings or coat, and two projectors to enhance the atmosphere and high-spec audio equipment with deep bass have been introduced. The lounge incorporates Antlers Red coloring, expressing the club's identity within the space itself. You can fully experience the special excitement of awaiting kickoff amidst an immersive presentation of visuals and sound.
The M3 Lounge is not limited to match days; it is also designed to host seminars and events on non-match days, making it a versatile space that can be rented for various hybrid uses.
New VIP seating engraved with the club's identity
The seating, directly connected to the pitch's excitement, has also been significantly improved in convenience and design.
Cushioned seats based on a black theme, new pair tables, and storage space underfoot have been installed to create a more comfortable viewing environment. You can relax and enjoy the match with food and drinks without worrying about your belongings.
Furthermore, the tiered seating (step areas) extending from the lounge incorporates a design inspired by the spirit of Club Advisor Zico, creating a space that enhances the overall sense of unity and excitement throughout the stadium. You can enjoy the match in an overwhelming atmosphere that resonates with the players on the pitch.
Kashima Antlers will continue to strive to improve hospitality and the viewing environment so that the stadium can be an even greater source of pride for all members of the Antlers family. Please enjoy your time in the new VIP area, where you can feel the club's passion firsthand, to your heart's content.
